(Ten thousand, already?)
1003. Not allowed to let go, Rose, never let go. 1004. Not allowed to one-up the Nullarbor Links 840 mile golf course by putting the 18th hole on the moon, astral space, metaplanes, resonance realms, or any other typically inaccessible location. 1004b. Obviously not allowed to run a game around said golf course. |

1005 - I'm not allowed to put gecko tape on a dwarf's arse so he doesn't fall off when riding his bike.
1005b - I'm not allowed to sell said dwarf to a dwarf-fetish troll. |

1005c. Unless the selling bid is just too good to turn down.

1006: Just because Arsenal gives rules for dealing damage with a "metahuman body" does not give me the right to make a "Dwarf-Chucker 9000" gun for my troll.
1006a: This goes doubly true if the dwarves are still alive when 'chucked.' 1006b: This goes tripply true for dwarven team mates. |

107: I am no longer allowed to create cybernetically augmented chimps that believe they are a person, have valid SIN's and degrees from Matrix universities in psychology to torment the mentally unstable troll sammy seeking help.

1008: I will not break into Harlequin's place of residence for the sole purpose of stealing underwear.
1009: Trying to curve bullets like the movie Wanted is grounds for having my guns jammed by GM fiat. 1010: If the team completed Harlequin's Back with me as the GM, it's considered bad form to bring the Horrors (The Enemy) into the campaign full-force. |

1018: I don't care how advanced 2070s science is, there is still no detector that can read someone's "power level."
1019: No, not even with magic. 1020: And I am not allowed to create one either. 1021: I am ESPECIALLY not to create one and point it at a dragon, just so I can say "It's over nine THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAND!" |

Though you could pull up someone's reputation score off JackPoint et al on AR and write an agent to quote rep scores as either less than or more than 9000. 1022: I am not allowed to do this. |

You could--theoretically--measure the "strength" of a magic user's Magic attribute via Ascensing. Add Magic + Initiations together* and that gives you a rough idea of how strong of a wielder they are. You'd probably only be able to point this "device" at a dragon and get a meager "It's over NINETEEN!" Combine it (assuming you find some technological way to ascense an astral signature--likely with the "aura camera") with a cyberware scanner and add points based on implants and you could measure a streetsam as non-zero. Most cyber would probably rank at some fractional value. As an easy method metagame wise, use the base essence cost (not cost paid), though you might have to multiply by some fraction to get a sliding scale that roughly approximates magic (eg. 2 essence worth of cyber might not be worth exactly 2 points on your device, might be 1.5 or 2.3). *Yes, if they have max magic, they're getting "2 points" per point of magic above 6, this is intentional, as metamagic does count for something. |

QUOTE (Draco18s @ Oct 26 2009, 09:51 PM) assuming you find some technological way to ascense an astral signature--likely with the "aura camera" The aura camera takes 30 minutes to capture an image of the astral plane, and things like leechbands only say if magic is there or not. I understand that within SR, tech and magic go together like a cheesemaker made of chalk. The best you can get is some biological interface where magical information is taken in by some Awakened being, fed into a recorder and then completely useless or inefficient. |

Trickster Shaman/Magician. One or two telekinetic spells, one or two illusion spells . .
Suddenly, the casket of the mafia don's son being lowered into the grave started rocking around and screaming in fear . . Nope, character did not live long, why do you ask? |

1026: As a GM, I'm not to set up my runners with a run specifically designed to get them stuck with a pet mogwai just to see what happens.
1026a: Well, I can't after I've already done it once... Note: Seriously, I want to get a group together just to do that to em... |
